The first quantity of Evolutionary Bio/ogy was once released 11 years in the past. seeing that that point 11 volumes and one complement have seemed. As acknowledged in previous prefaces, we're carrying on with the point of interest of this sequence on severe reports, commentaries, unique papers, and controversies in evolu­ tionary biology. lt is our target to post papers basically of better size than regularly released by way of society journals and quarterlies. We consequently invite colleagues to put up chapters that fall in the concentration and criteria of Evolutionary Bio/ogy. The Editors vii Contents 1.
